Heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons in cold nuclear matter

Abstract

We review the in-medium modifications of effective masses (Lorentz scalar potentials or phenomenon of mass shift) of heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons in symmetric nuclear matter and their nuclear bound states. We use a combined approach with the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model and an effective Lagrangian. As demonstrated by the cases of pionic and kaonic atoms, studies of meson-nucleus bound state can provide us with important information on chiral symmetry in dense nuclear medium. In this review, we treat the mesons, $K,K^{\ast },D,D^{\ast },B,B^{\ast },\eta ,{\eta }^{\prime },\varphi ,{\eta }_c,J/\psi ,{\eta }_b,{\rm Y}$, and $B_c$, where our emphasys is on the heavy mesons. In addition, we also present some new results for the $B_c$-nucleus bound states.
